 Turn on your MPR Demo software (or whatever you want to use to connect with the AWID), and select the <b><i>opposite</i></b> port that you picked to create the AWID on from the ports you created.  For example, if you created ports 6 and 7, and you created the AWID with port 6, select COM7 in the MPR Demo.  Click connect, and they should connect successfully!  If they don't, check to make sure it says "running" next to the reader's icon.

 If you connected successfully, you should see red and green output in the console view of the reader.  The red represents commands coming in, and the green represents outgoing data.  After this, you are free to read tags!  Click on 'Command', go to 'Read single tag ID', and select 'EPC C1 GEN2'.  You should see green output on the console of the tags going back to the MPR demo.

 Now that you are done creating the serial ports, it is time to create an AWID reader.  Start up Emulator, click on the '+' sign next to the "ReaderView" tab in the top left, and select "AWIDMPR" from the given list.  Press next, give the reader a name, and type in the name of one of the COM ports you created before.  If you selected COM6 and COM7 for instance, type in one of those.  Click finish, and the reader should create successfully.

+This guide was written assuming you are connecting on a Windows XP machine.  It may work for other operating systems, but that is not guaranteed.
 To get started with the AWID reader, first download and install Rifidi Emulator.  Then download and install com0com, a serial-port emulation tool that will allow you to connect with and read tags from any readers you create.  In the install options for com0com, uncheck the option where it automatically installs serial ports CNCA and CNCB.  While not necessary, doing this will make the creation and maintenance of virtual serial ports less confusing.
